Everything has its limits
Anyone who owns an American Express Centurion Card, also known as a "Black Card", has somehow made it - at least financially. The path to the world's most exclusive credit card is not easy, because in order to get it or to be offered it by Amex without an application, you have to have generated a high six-figure annual turnover over several years with another Amex card. In addition, the one-time admission fee is 5,000 euros, at least in Germany, and also 5,000 euros as an annual fee.

For it one receives auxiliary achievements such as a personal assistant, numerous discount offers as well as auxiliary insurances and advantages regarding VIP Lounges on airports, table reservations in even booked out restaurants, Limousinenservice uvm..
On Top there is evenly no special limit with purchases ... and you get two cards: one with platinum alloy and one with black plastic, because just not every card reader recognizes the platinum card.

In any case, this luxury countervalue is much higher and more exclusive than the clumsy blingbling symbolism at the gold bar of Paco Rabanne's One Million. The real card could almost invite to buy an upscale perfumery completely empty.

Unfortunately, the fragrance in the plastic flacon what the expected quality is concerned absolutely does not come along - whereby it reflects exactly the same trash again excellent.

"No Limit$" starts at first not even as junky over, as initially feared. Since a dark spicy cloud spreads, which scratches with cinnamon and star anise almost already in a pleasant way to the gourmandige. One wonders why it actually comes off so badly here. In general, the whole ingredients read after a delicious potpourri of various desserts.

But the really gray clouds are not long in coming. Already after a few seconds, the whole facade collapses and "No Limit$" reveals itself as embarrassing as one had expected it to be in the end, although one wanted to approach the matter quite objectively. The reason for this are cheapest wood, oud and leather imitations, which were added to the eau de parfum and make it an artificially created disaster. I'm glad I did my test in my spare time on a non-working day, otherwise colleagues would have locked me away or out for sure.

I had already written it more often in some comments that I hear a note on the side after moist clay. Here in the heart note, it is unfortunately omnipresent.
One could almost think that Mr. Plein said to Senor Morillas: "Please take quiet the cheapest ingredients you know and I make the greatest possible contrast from the flacon symbolism, harharhar".

In the base note, the whole thing then becomes a tad more conciliatory again, especially since the notes seem sweeter and more appetizing, but still not recognizable. Ultimately, I'm not surprised that the fragrance on Parfumo so smears.

From Phillipp Plein her I know only the shop windows of his huge store on the Königsallee in Düsseldorf. What I have seen so far in clothes and accessories there, is rather suitable for tasteless nouveau riche. The trashy concept of "No Limit$" actually fits quite well. All others may remain quietly down to earth, because as Alberte Einstein once concluded: "two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, but with the universe I'm not quite sure yet

The fragrant black credit card!
I have only been here for a few days and this is my first review.
Fashion designer Philipp Plein polarizes very strongly with his high-priced designer high tech fashion. Some find his fashion over-crazy and tasteless, others go for the skulls with plenty of bling bling. Although I have already arrived in the autumn of life, I definitely belong to the latter, but I don't have to apologize for that, because tastes can be quite different. This also applies to fragrances, of course. As I already had the pleasure to smell the plein fragrance "The $kull", which was released last year, but I didn't like it, I decided to buy the new "No Limit$", as it is also rather in the upper middle range of prices. First of all: the two fragrances do not differ in the slightest! So it's a slightly vanilla leather scent here, too, but it's missing a lot. Patchouli, frankincense or pepper completely elude my nose, but aquatic and above all animal notes are too much for my taste and push the overall impression in a direction that doesn't suit me personally. Durability and sillage are in the moderate range.
However, the entire packaging fits perfectly into the overall Plein image and is very harmonious. The bottle itself is in the shape of an oversized black credit card and is very cool and above all innovative!
Conclusion: I will continue to wear the clothes from time to time, the scent rather less.

Well, honestly..
Alberto Morillas or not, but what he has "afforded" here... sorry Jeremy...
But this overwhelming receptiveness to this scent, ridiculous.
I got the sample in the course of a purchase (Creed Aventus 100ml and Atkinsons Oud Save the King) for testing. After I had enjoyed 3 hours at the OstK I watched the video of Jeremy on YT and thought, come and try it. Dressed up... waited a little while and sniffed the top note... okay goes. When it comes to the heart note I get this acrid cleaner-like smell in my nose and of course you smell 100% aniseed. Sorry Phillip not mine

The most underrated
I find that people who destroy this perfume are not honest. This is surely the best leathery scent on the market. I think this perfume suffered from a bad advertising campaign. Put any other name on the bottle, and you will have a masterpiece. This is what Ombre Leather by Tom Ford should have felt.

In The Wrong Setting, A Prestigious Painting
Although the Philipp Plein character is strongly polarizing, and the packaging is tacky, you can't please everyone. But I think that the work of the perfumer should not be confused with that of the designer brand. We should not judge a painting based on its setting. For all this, I believe that they have unjustly judged the perfume, leaving out the beauty of the fragrance and the mastery of the perfumer. I think this is a leather fragrance that you need to know about! Having been unjustly slaughtered, it smells of freshly baked, peppery and spicy bread, and smoky, soft, slightly dusty leather. Great job Alberto Morillas.

A fillet with green pepper according to a French recipe. No Limit$ greets me with a massive pungent blast of spiced berries. It is an aromatic and herbaceous green pepper, like the one used to make the creamy sauce in which to cook a tenderloin medallion. It doesn’t matter if the top notes tell us of sour citrus peel and spicy tuber pulp, both immersed in an aqueous fluid flavoured with star anise seeds. I mostly take notes on unripe peppercorns. Ginger and bergamot are muted, of course. For a moment, I get a velvety, powdery and sour undertone, but pepper is dominant. Other hot spices take part in this blend, albeit very well-dosed, as clove is not like a dentist’s cure and cinnamon is not reminiscent of apple pie or rice pudding. In other words, No Limit$ opens spicy. Spices are very present, strong but not unpleasant, but this is only one aspect, as it is a multifaceted colony.

A few minutes later, the scent turns sweet but not too sweet, slightly gourmand with powdery undertones. I feel a light dusty and bitter note of dark chocolate, which takes the stage and moves the spices to the background, clear but not dominant as in Valentino Uomo (2014) Eau de Toilette. This gourmand accord blends with the sweet, amber, and powdery notes of vanilla that intertwine with the smoky accords of incense. The result is a cuddle, something comfortable and warm. In the end, the powerful, spicy slap became a tender and candid caress.

No Limit$ finishes are woody, leathery, and semi-sweet. Having reached this final phase, I can appreciate the animalistic shades of modern leather more than the more delicate suede. With a pinch of earthy but clean and fragrant patchouli and a perfume of oud wood, it does not shift toward an animalistic or medicinal composition typical of the Far East but expresses the mysterious and elegant touch of this precious wood. In the end, therefore, No Limit$ gives us sweet, slightly powdery, and leathery nuances, which make it sexy.

My last words are that No Limit$ isn't that crappy, it's definitely not what haters are portraying or claiming. Sure, it’s not really for everyone, and it’s not attractive to the masses, but it's not that terrible. For sure, it deserves to be tested as I find it unique, unlike any other perfume out there. According to reviews, this perfume resembles Guilty Absolute pour Homme, which I like, but if I compare the two side by side, I feel two completely different scents. The comparison is fun, but that’s just my opinion as fragrances are subjective. The opening might be misleading, but overall I find it closer to Reveal Men Eau de Toilette rather than Guilty Absolute pour Homme. Apart from that, No Limit$ is to be included in the rotation of autumn and perhaps winter scents. It pairs well on cold and humid days, even better if worn in the evening. Despite the initial spiciness, the scent is not offensive; it has a contained projection, but it lasts a long time on the skin and clothes. I wore it today, and the juice came as a surprise to me due to all this hate.

I base the review on a bottle I have owned since October 2022.

You can knock Plein all you want (deservedly), but you can't deny Morillas! A legit, 8h+ leather frag. Horrid bottle, but GREAT atomizer!
